SPECIFICATIONS FOR MAGNETIC TAPES CONTAINING 
MONOGRAPH CATALOG RECORDS 
IN THE MARC II FORMAT 


This report describes in detail the magnetic tape format for 
monographic catalog records distributed as part of the Library of Congress 
MARC Distribution Service. 


I.'■■ TAPE FORMAT 

A. 9 channel tapes are written in odd parity at 800 bpi. Each 
logical file is terminated by a tape mark (13'!^). 

B. 7 channel tapes are written in odd parity at 556 bpi. Each 
logical file is terminated by a tape mark (iVg). 

C. Physical records on the tape are less than or equal to a 
maximum of 2048 characters. Logical records are unblocked. 
Logical records longer than 2048 characters are handled as 
follows (see p. 25 on record structure). 

1. There will be one leader per logical record (the record 
length field will be more than 2048). 

2. There will be one record directory per logical record. 

3. Each physical record will include data up to the 2048th 
character. The next physical record will be a continua¬ 
tion of that data field v;hich happened to come at the 
2048 break, i.e., a data field may be split between two 
physical records. 

D. Volume and file organization is as follows:

All labels conform to the specifications recommended in 
the "Proposed USA Standard: f^agnetic Tape Labels and File 
Structure for Information Interchange" (June 7, 1967). The 
structure and contents of each label used in the MARC 
Distribution Service follow.

II, CHARACTER SET 


MARC tapes will follow the standards set by the United States of 
America Standards Institute (USASI) for the interchange of information on 
magnetic tape. This standard is a 7-bit code. However, the MARC charac¬ 
ter set has been expanded to an 8-bit (9 channel tape) and a 6-bit 
(7 channel tape) code. The basic code set is 8-bit. 

A. The 8-bit Code 

Some of the standard USASCII characters such as braces 
or the backward slash are not part of this character set. 

However, no characters are substituted for these code posi¬ 
tions. Other characters such as diacritical marks will be 
left in their standard (unused) positions and duplicated 
in another portion of the code set reserved for special 
characters and diacriticals. . • H; 

B. The 6-bit Code 

This code set is derived by removing the 6th and 8th 
bit from the 8-bit code set. The standard 6-bit set includes 
lower case alphas, numerals, and most punctuation marks and 
other special characters. Three characters in this standard 
set are designated as non-locking shift codes of which only two. 
(738 758) will be used in the immediate future. The presence 

of one of these codes indicates that the next character is in 
either one of two non-standard 6-bit code sets. Code 738 Precedes 
characters in non-standard set I. Code 758 Precedes characters 
in non-standard set II. 

Diacritical marks, which are intended to go either over or under 
an alphabetic character, will precede the character to which they belong.

I A. LEADER — The leader is fixed in length for all records 
J and contains 24 characters. . ‘ , 

B. RECORD DIRECTORY — The record directory is made up of a 

series of fixed-length entries (12 characters each) 

_ .....which contain the -identification tag, the_ length, 
and the starting character position in the record 
of each of the variable fields. The record direc¬ 
tory will end with a field terminator code 
(lE^i^, 8-bit; 36g, 6-bit). . 

C. CONTROL FIELDS — The control fields contain .alphameric 

data elements, many of which have a fixed length. 
These fields end with a field terminator code. 

Each control field is identified by a. 3*-character 
.’.'numeric tag in the record directory, and these _ 

■'■ tags will not be repeated in a logical record. _ - 

D. VARIABLE FIELDS — The variable fields are made up of 

variable length alphameric data, and all fields 
end with a field terminator code except the last 
,:Variable field in a logical record which replaces 
the field terminator with an end-of-record code 
(iD-j^,, .8-bit; 358> 6-bit). Each variable field 
is identified by a 3—character numeric tag in the 
record directory, and tags .may,be repeated as

4. Indicator Count — 

Each variable field begins with two characters 
called indicators which provide certain descriptive 
information about the data which follows. For mono¬ 
graphs all variable fields must be incremented by 2 
; ■" •• to reach the subfield code for the first data element 

in the field. 

5. ' Subfield Code Count"--[T| 

Each data element within a variable field is identi¬ 
fied by a two chai’acter subfield code made up of a 
delimiter 8-bit; SVg, 6-bit) and a lower case 

. alphabetic character. Each data element must be incre- 

■. mented by 2 in order to reach the first character of data. 

6. Base Address of Data — a nuiaber which is the starting 

character position of the first control field. That 
. is, it is equal to the length of the leader and the 
record directory (including the record directory 
field terminator). The starting character position 
for each field entered in the record is relative to 
the first character of-the first-control field (not 
the beginning of the record). The base address of 
data gives the base from which each field is addressed. 

The number is right justified wiuh leading zeros.

3. Starting Character Position — 5 numeric characters 

which give the character position in the record 
of the first character of the field. The 
character position is relative to a base which 
begins with the first character of the first 
field (i.e., for monographs the first character 
of the control number field). The first record 
directory entry will contain the starting 
character position 00000. Subsequent record 
directory entries will have starting character 
positions incremented by the field length of 
the previous entry.

Definition of Data Elements 


1 . DATE ENTERED ON FILE 0_5 

Six numeric characters will give the date the record 
was entered into the MARC System, as s.n indication of 
the currency of the record. This date will be 
divided into three sub-elements, each with two 
characters for the year, month, and day. 

Example: ! 67 I ">0 > Ct I means October 5> 1967 

A record corrected due to errors in keyboarding and 
editing will not have a change of da.te. However, a 
record changed as a result of a revision of the LC 
printed card will receive a new date. 

2. TYPE OF PUBLICATION DATE (one alphabetic character, see 6 

below) 

3. DATE 1 (four num^eric characters, see below) 7-1 (Zf 


32 - 










Field 008 


4. DATE 2 (four numeric characters) 11-14 

The"contents of the two dates will be determined by 
, the character that appears in the type of publication 
indicator as follows: 

}s j= Date of publication consists of a known date or 
a probable date that can be represented by four 
digits. The date will be entered in the date 1 
field and the date 2 field will contain blanks.

date 2 field w’ill be set to 9999. In the situa¬ 
tion where a work has an initial and terminal 
date and also a date of previous publication, 


m will take precedence 

over r.

= Date of publication consists of a date in w^hich 
one or more of the digits is missing, e.g., 194_

by substituting missing digits with zeros and . 
the latest possible dates with 9(s), unless the 
resulting date is greater than the year the work 
was cataloged. In this case date 2 contains 
the year the work was cataloged. If a work is

A tv.ro or tliree oharacter alphabetic code, left justified, 
will be used fcr the country of publication. If the work 
is published in the United States, Canada, Russia, or the 
United Kingdom, the first tw’o ciaaracters of the field will 
contain a rinomcnic code for the state, province, or other 
subdivision where the v;ork v.^as published, and the third 
character will ccntQ.in a code for country.

7. INTELLECTUAL LEVEL, CODE 22 

The Library of Congress will use a single alphabetic 
character to show that the work cataloged is intended 
for juveniles. In this case, the field will contain the 
code "j”; otherwise, it will contain a blank. The 
Library of Congress will identify juvenile literature 
for coding by the following set of criteria: 

1 . The subdivision "Juvenile literature" used with 
a main subject heading. 

2. An LC classification number for works of juvenile 
fiction, i.e., PZ5-PZ10.7. 

3. The letter "J" associated with the Dewey Decimal 
Classification Number. 

4. The letters "E" or "Fic" used in place of a Dewey 
number on AC cards. The AC prefix to the LC card 
number will not be used to set the "j" code. The 
Annotated Card Program includes young adult books 
and adult reference books in addition to children's 
books. 

8. FORM OF REPRODUCTION CODE 23 

If the work has been reproduced photographically or 
by other means in a size too sm.all to be read by the 
unaided eye, this character will contain one of the 
following codes which indicate the type of reproduction. 

Also, if the work has oversize print, this v;ill be indicated. 

a = Microfilm 
b Microfiche 
c = Microopaque 
d = Large-print 

- blank (not a reproduction) 

9. FORM OF CONTENT CODES 24-27 

Certain types of material used frequently for reference 
purposes will be specified by a one-character alphabetic 
code. Since some works embody several types of materials, 
as many as four may be specified. This information will 
be taken from the title statement, the subject headings, 
or the notes. In the unlikely eventuality that more 
than four types are present, the sequence of the following 
list will determine which four are to be recorded.

1 . Indicators 

Each variable field will begin with 2 characters 
which provide descriptive information about the 
field. The contents of the indicators are 
specified for the fields in which they are used 
(see page 43ff). If the indicators are not used 
with a particular field, they will contain blanks. 

2. Subfield Codes 

Variable fields are made up of a single data element 
or a group of data elements. The subfield code 
precedes each data element in a field and identifies 
the data element. The subfield code consists of 2 
characters: a delimiter (IF-]^, 8-bit; DVg, 6-bit) 
followed by a lower case alphabetic character. 

(The 6-bit delimiter is in non-standard character 
set I and has a shift character Vdg in front of it.) 
For the purpose of these specifications, the delimiter 
will be represented by the typewriter graphic 
Subfield codes are specified for each variable 
field beginning on page 43. 

3. Data Elements 

All data elements in the variable fields may have 
variable lengths. 

4. Field Terminator 

The field terminator code is 3-bit; 36g, 6-bit. 

(The 6-bit field terminator is in non-standard 
character set I and has the shift character VDg in 
front of it.)

Variable Field Tags 


The list on page 42 contains the variable field tags 
used for monograph cataloging records. These tags will be 
sequenced in the record directory by the first digit of the 
tag. Within a block of 100 numbers, however, (e.g., the 
60^,'s, subject tracings) the tags will appear in the order 
in which they would be printed on a standard catalog record, 
not necessarily in the numerical sequence of the tags. All 
variable field tags may be repeated; however, the nature 
of cataloging data is such that many tags are not repeatable, 
e.g., a record for a monograph can only have one main entry 
and, therefore, only one field in the 100 series. 


' ■ ' Subfield Codes in Variable Fields 

The subfield code identifies the constituent data 
elements of a variable field. For example, the imprint 
field, tag 260, may have the following 3 data elements 
with their respective subfield codes: 

' ■ - Place - $a 

Publisher - $b 

Date - $c 

Imprint data could appear as follows with hypothetical record 
directory entries and indicators carrying blanks: 

Directory: 2.^0001,50020^ 

Data: j^^^laWashington,$bPublic Affairs Press,|c1965. 
Directory: 26000/+S0020S 

. ^ .Data: ^>^|aLondon,$aNew York,IbMacmillan,|c1965$cc1 964 . 

In some fields only one data element has been defined, but 
this data element may be repeated within the field as many 
times as necessary preceded by the subfield code "$a.’' 

Subfield codes for each field are defined in the field 
descriptions which follow. ' • _

seven digits in length. The second part of the nomber 
identifies the particular title and expands the number 
to eight digits. For example, the publisher uith a 
two-digit publisher’s prefix is assigned a six-digit 
title number, i.e., 000,001—999,999, and the publisher 
with a seven-digit prefix is assigned a one-digit title 
number, i.e., 1-9. The check digit is used for a 
computer validity check. The check digit system, i.e., 
modulus 11, sometimes requires a check digit of "10." 

In order to stay within the limitations of nine digits, 
it is necessary to carry the Roman numeral "x" in the 
check digit position for "10." For further explanation 
of the standard book number see Standard Book Numbering 
(New York, Bowker, 1968. 13 p.) issued by The Standard 

Book Numbering Agency. The indicators in this field

Name of Data Element 

$a - Three-character language codes describing languages of text 
or its translation. 

$b - Three-character language codes describing languages of summaries. 

This field will only be used when the work is multi¬ 
lingual or a translation. If the work can be described 
by a single language code, this single code will be 
recorded in the fixed length data field (008), positions 
35-37, and there will be no variable field for languages. 

Works which require more than one language code will carry 
all necessary codes in this field. In addition, the first 
language code will be repeated in the fixed length data 
field. For multilingual works, the languages of the text 
will be recorded in coded form in order of their predominance 
in the text. If no language is predominant, they will be 
■ recorded in alphabetical order. If the work includes 
summaries in languages other than that of the text, these 
languages will be recorded in alphabetical order following 
the languages of the text. The subfield code "$b" will 
separate the two groups. A three-character alphabetic 
code is assigned to each language. 

The first indicator will show the work to be a 
translation: 

' ' ’ - ‘ • Multi-langdage = 0 ' ' ^ 

Translation. = 1 
The second indicator is blank. 

When a work has been translated, the languages will be 
recorded in the following order:

This number is in many instances divided in up to 
three segments by the slash (/) character to allow 
libraries to cut long numbers without assigning 
professional cataloging talent to the task. Some v;orks 
intended for juveniles will have an "E” for easy book 
and "Fie” for fiction provided in place of the Dewey 
number where appropriate. In other instances, works of 
biography will have what amount to alternative classifi¬ 
cations after the full Dewey number, i.e., "(B)" for 
biography and "92" or "920" which are the Dewey biography 
classifications. All alternative Dewey numbers will be 
separated by subfield codes. The indicators in this
